531. Chapter 517: Enfeoffment and Allegiance
Above the palace hall, fist-sized Night-Luminous Pearls illuminated the interior with brilliant light.
Graceful mermaids and clam girls shuttled back and forth within the hall, holding giant clam shells filled with various fine wines and delicacies. Fragrant qi rose upwards, converging near the hazy Night-Luminous Pearls at the top of the hall, forming a patch of misty qi.
Seated on coral chairs behind dozens of long tables were Important Figures of the Underworld: Deputy Chairmen, Councillors, either Princes and Grand Dukes of the Vampire Clan, or Great Chiefs of the Orcs.
Although they had never seen such extravagance as this Dragon Palace, and the long tables before them were laden with all sorts of delicacies, everyone's complexions were gloomy, and no one was in the mood to pick up the chopsticks in front of them.
Their gazes were fixed intently on a Black-Robed Elder sitting at the head table. The Black-Robed Elder slowly picked up a small, paper-thin slice of white conch meat with ivory chopsticks, dipped it in the wasabi dish in front of him, then put the conch meat into his mouth and chewed it carefully. The next second, under everyone's gaze, hot tears flowed from his eyes.
This Deputy Chairman of the Dark Council forced himself to swallow the conch meat, which had stimulated tears because he had put too much wasabi on it, and put down the ivory chopsticks in his hand. He looked at the crowd present and said faintly, "Everyone, you already know the Big Boss's meaning. From now on, I will temporarily act as Speaker, managing the Dark Council on her behalf."
Although some of the High-level Staff of the Dark Council had unpleasant complexions, they all nodded in understanding. After all, the Big Boss was right next door! Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only endure it.
"The authority of the Speaker (Dark Council), what great authority!"
The Black-Robed Elder said faintly, "I have lived from the Middle Ages until now, lived for so many years, seen many things, and personally witnessed the history of human civilization's development from ignorance to civilization!"
Some of the High-level Staff of the Dark Council looked at him in confusion, not understanding what this newly appointed Speaker (Dark Council) was going crazy about.
Everyone present was an elder who had lived for hundreds, even thousands of years. Are you trying to show off your seniority here? Gently spreading his hands, the Black-Robed Elder lowered his eyelids and swept his gaze over the dark creatures present with a mocking look that made their faces burn. "The authority of the Speaker (Dark Council), if it were ten or twenty years ago, I would be so happy I couldn't sleep. Really. Oh, although I haven't slept for hundreds of years already!" The Black-Robed Elder mocked himself.
"But do you know how I feel now, huh!? Speaker (Dark Council)! Compared to the opportunity to become a god, what does the Speaker (Dark Council) count for? Shit!" The Black-Robed Elder couldn't help but curse. "I have lived for over a thousand years, and this is the only time I have come close to becoming a god. Everyone knows what a great and glorious existence the Big Boss is. That is a god walking in the Mortal Realm, high above. No, He is the King of the Gods, Supreme, the Heavenly Emperor who rules over everything!"
"You, you, and you, and of course, including me," the Black-Robed Elder pointed at each of the High-level Staff of the Dark Council with his joints, which were so dry that only a thin layer of skin remained, and finally pointed at himself.
"Why are we insignificant dark creatures favored by this Crowned One's gaze? Is it because of our weak strength? No, it's because of Speaker Selina!"
"The reason the small Dark Council could enter that One's eyes is because Speaker Selina is here. If it weren't for her, perhaps we would have already become part of the Myriad Souls Banner or the White Bone Banner!"
"Duke Nicholas, vampire blood is excellent ink for drawing Yin Attribute Talismans. You must have sold a lot of blood from your Clan Dependents to Heavenly Soldier Valley in exchange for benefits, right!"
The Black-Robed Elder turned his gaze towards a Middle-aged Man wearing a tuxedo with a pale complexion.
The Middle-aged Man coughed twice, avoiding the elder's gaze.
"And you Orcs, your physiques are excellent materials for Jiangshi Refining!"
Hearing the Black-Robed Elder's words, those Minotaurs and Trolls all had very unpleasant complexions. On the other hand, the Great Chiefs of the Werewolf Clan looked very relaxed.
"Do you Werewolves think you have Deputy Chairman Lucian as a backer and are fearless?" The Black-Robed Elder sighed. "I originally wanted to decline this position and give it to Deputy Chairman Lucian, but it's clear he doesn't want to take over this mess.
As far as I know, Lord Lucian is currently listed under the Position of Venerable Kui Wood Wolf among the Twenty-Eight Mansions in the Heavenly Court's Divine Immortal Registry. In our words, he has already Ignited Divine Fire and Ascended to the Divine Throne!"
"Everyone, we originally had this opportunity too, but we messed it up. Lord Selina originally wanted to win us an opportunity to show our faces before the Big Boss, but we messed it up!"
All the dark creatures present lowered their heads. Yes, it was truly embarrassing! "Now the Big Boss's God's Kingdom is rising towards a higher level, and the Heavenly Court's territory will encompass innumerable worlds.
Without Lord Selina's protection, our Dark Council's influence in the competition with The Church and The Syndicate will gradually be lost, and we might even fall to the true bottom layer!
